Carol Platt Liebau: An Instructive Lesson From the American Left

In her new book titled "Alito" Mollie Hemingway offers revealing insights — not just about the Supreme Court justice — but on how the left's take-no-prisoners mindset has infected the high court. Hemingway recounts an episode before the release of the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade. With major security concerns including—you may remember—death threats, Justice Alito asked the liberal justices to expedite their dissents. Instead, tensions boiled over. Obama appointee Justice Elena Kagan lashed out at Justice Stephen Breyer, suspecting he might cooperate with the majority. No timeline for finishing the dissents was ever provided The left often warns that institutions have declined under Trump. But this troubling account is instructive. It's a stark reminder: The left is willing to destroy any institution it doesn't control.
